Geeks.com, home of cheap iPods, sent us in the 4th Gen Apple iPod Nano to take it for a spin. Let's see how it stacks up against the 1st generation Nano that we also happen to have available in our lab, and the iPod Touch.

This is something I don't get: people wanting 8 GB of music but not caring how good the player is at managing it! I find iTunes' Smart Playlists indispensable for handling large libraries. Using manual playlists, folder-based navigation or even "genre" feels far too limited when you have 3000+ songs on a device.
